Does it work with iPhone HEIC photos?

Not yet. HEIC is not supported. Convert them to JPG first, or set your iPhone camera format to Most Compatible so it saves JPG.

Can it add the date to the name?

In local mode the EXIF data goes to the model, so you can ask for the date taken in your instructions. In cloud mode the model sees the picture and the original name, so a date already in the old name, like 20260802, can be kept.

How accurate are the names?

Clear photos get specific names, like golden retriever in park. Busy or dark photos get more general ones. Every name is shown before renaming, and you can refresh any of them.

Is there a limit on how many photos I can rename?

No fixed limit. Drop as many as you like. In cloud mode each photo uses 1 credit and can be up to 10 MB.

How does AI Renamer work?

It reads each file you give it. Images go to a vision model that looks at the picture, PDFs and text files are read for what they say, and the AI writes a short, clear name for each one. You check the list and press Rename All.

What file types are supported?

Images (JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, WEBP), PDFs (scanned ones too, they are read as images) and about 80 kinds of text and code files, like TXT, MD, CSV, JSON, HTML, JS and PY. HEIC, RAW, Word and Excel files are not supported yet.

Can I preview the suggested names before applying them?

Yes. Every new name shows in a list first and nothing is renamed on disk until you press Rename All. You can ask for another name or remove a file from the list.

Can I rename multiple files at once?

Yes. Drop as many files as you like, or a whole folder, and rename them all at once. In cloud mode each file uses one credit.

Vision model

It sees the picture.

Camera names count up and mean nothing.

Each photo goes to a vision model that describes what is in it. You see the thumbnail next to the new name before you rename.

You may not want family photos uploaded anywhere.

In local mode a model on your own computer reads the photos, and EXIF data like the date taken can go into the name too.
